  • Title: Retrofitting technique for a crown or abutment following coronal fracture.
    Author: King KA, Lackey MA.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2007; 55(1):22-6. PubMed ID: 17333961.
    Abstract:
    The fracture of tooth structure and/or restorative material within a crown or fixed partial denture abutment poses a restorative challenge. Depending upon the severity of the fracture and health of the tooth or teeth involved, the restoration often can be re-cemented, restoring the tooth to a serviceable condition. This article describes a technique that provides a safe and efficient means of restoring the fractured tooth, thereby overcoming a major obstacle to the conventional recementation process. An application of the technique also is described.
